Chapter 2: Songshan (Part II)
The lamp oil was added and added, and the lamp was picked and picked again. It was midnight.
"Sir, it's not too early, I have to go to see the third brother early tomorrow morning, Xiao Wang has to go back." At this moment, King Xin's heart was full of respect, and his title to Li Mi also became "Mr."
Bowing down to send the king out of the courtyard, Li Mi stood in the courtyard and looked up at the stars in the sky and was silent.
"Sir, what are you thinking?" asked Anwar
Li Mi shook his head, and Nunu did not speak in the direction of the roof. A black shadow flashed away, Anwar seemed to realize something, and was about to chase, but Li Mi held down his shoulder, shook his head and said, "It's late at night, go to sleep."
On the couch of a magnificent hall in Xingqing Palace, there is an old man who is over the age of old, a palace attendant next to him stands with his hands down, and a black-clothed walker in the middle of the hall is half-kneeling and silent. At this time, the hall was silent, and the insects outside the window were connected.
"A life without making mistakes is not real." Interesting, the old man smiled slightly.
"Tell me, Gaulis," said the old man after a long time. It is His Majesty today, Li Longji, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan Shengwen Shenwu. The person standing next to him was none other than his personal attendant, Gao Lishi.
"Your Majesty, the villain is not good. Your Majesty asks the villain to speak, and the villain will talk about it. If you don't say it well, please punish your majesty."
Li Longji laughed, pointed to Gao Lishi's nose and said: "You have followed me since you were in the palace, why did you learn to slip your head when you are old?"
"Your Majesty, the villain feels that this Li Mi knows the affairs of the court and the central government very well, and the way to deal with it is at his fingertips, and he has a strong sense of the overall situation, and there are big hills and ravines in his chest. The key point is that the character is quite generous, and the comments on the current situation are fair. He's a good man," Colliers said cautiously.
"How is it better than Yang Guozhong, and how is it better than Yao Chong and Song Jing?" Li Longji continued to ask.
"Compared to Yang Xiangguo, it is a little more limited. It's not much weaker than Yao and Song. Colliers replied.
"You old thing, the older you get, the more demonic you become. Do you mean that Yang Guozhong is similar to Yao Chong and Song Jingzuo? Do you believe that? I don't believe it! Li Longji laughed
"Your Majesty hasn't been so happy for a long time," Gao Lishi saw that Li Longji was in a good mood, and said in a sour nose and whispered.
"I'm happy, having this person here is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the blessing of the prince. Heng'er befriended him, and I could rest assured. Li Longji was very relieved at the moment.
"Ashina Morry, your Ashina family has been with my Li family for several generations, and they are my confidants. Since Ashina Sheer, the later people of your family have all served in the palace, and there is no longer a battlefield to fight and kill, and the glory of the ancestors is no longer there, have you ever complained? Li Longji stood up and said to the half-kneeling person in the hall.
"Your Majesty, since the ancestor Ashina Sheer, the Ashina family has been trusted by the emperors and His Majesty, and has been serving as a personal garrison. I have always been grateful and loyal, and I have no second heart. The man in black replied in a solemn voice
"I want to give you a wealth of Ashina family, and give you a chance to catch up with the glory of your ancestors, do you dare to ask for it?" Li Longji was very satisfied with the answer of the man in black.
"The villain is willing to go!" The man in black was flushed by Li Longji's words, and the glorious blood of the ancestors burned and boiled in his body.
"Colliers, the secret purpose. Ashinamoli resigned from his position as the commander of the Black Dragon Guard, and immediately went to Songshan with my secret decree to protect Li Mi's son. I still have to leave my treasure for my son, but don't let anyone ruin it. ”
"In addition, Ming Xuan Ashina Simo entered the Forbidden Palace, served as the deputy envoy of the Black Dragon Guard, and held the Black Dragon Guard" After Li Longji finished speaking, he looked at Ashina Mori kneeling in the hall and said softly again
"You are the same age as the crown prince and Li Mi, and I have always treated you as a nephew. You're going to do more together than you're going to do with me, old man, you know? "Your brother, I will summon you to the palace, and I will take your place in the future, so that your whole clan is safe. You and Li Mi are one martial artist and one writer, and you must work with one heart and one mind to assist the prince, not two hearts. Do you understand? ”
Ashnamori knelt on the ground and wept silently, and bowed his head in thanksgiving.
"Don't cry, you're the leader of my Black Dragon Guard, crying like this. I'm not dead, it's never too late to cry when I'm in the sky. Li Longji smiled, but his eyes were full of warm reproach.
Li Longji's optimistic mood infected Ashina Morley, and he said while sobbing: "Your Majesty said one thing wrong, Li Mi's kid knows martial arts, and the villain has seen him learn from the prince's female guard, Anwar."
"Oh? There is such a thing, this kid is so surprising" The smile on Li Longji's face became even bigger.
"Your Majesty, if you want to say that Li Mi first got acquainted with Your Majesty. Since you value Li Mi so much, why don't you call him back to the court? After Morry retreated, Colliers asked quietly.
"What are you doing back? Can he fight Yang Guozhong? Let him stay in Songshan well. Summoning him back to the court is left to Hen'er to do. After saying this, Li Longji was silent for a while, and then asked again: "How is Feng Changqing, is he dead?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, after General Feng's army defeated Luoyang, Your Majesty ordered him to 'work in white clothes' under General Gao Xianzhi, presumably he must be alive and well." After thinking for a while, Gao Lishi said cautiously, "The slave thinks that General Gao and General Feng are battle-hardened generals and famous generals. There must be a reason for the defeat. When he had said this, Colliers was silent.
Li Longji didn't answer, and the huge palace fell silent, only the candle flames danced in bright red, trying to tear the black night apart. After a long time, a slight snoring was heard. Gao Lishi quietly withdrew from the palace, and when he was about to close the door, Li Longji spoke, "I haven't been to the court for a long time, let's go to the court tomorrow." Call the prince to listen to the government. Colliers' nose was sour, and he answered and gently closed the door of the temple.
Gao Lishi is from a prominent background, and his real name is Feng Yuanyi. The sixth grandson of Mrs. Xian, the "Holy Mother of Lingnan". In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, his great-grandfather Feng Ang was the governor of the eighteen states of Guang and Shao, and was named the Duke of Geng Guo. His grandfather, Feng Zhiyu, was the assassin of Pan Zhou. His father, Feng Junheng, joined the army for Gaozhou. Mother, Mai is also from a famous family, her grandfather is the Sui Dynasty general Mai Tiecane, followed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Yang Su to fight in the north and south, outstanding military achievements, was awarded the first rank of official - Kaifu Yi and the three divisions.
After Feng An's death, the Feng family began to decline. In 693 A.D. (the second year of Wu Zetian's longevity), Wang Guojun, who supervised the imperial history, falsely accused the Nanling Liuren (exiled prisoners) of rebellion, and Feng Junheng was implicated and accused of harboring grievances, protecting his clansmen, and plotting against him. The imperial court just took this good opportunity to attack the Feng family's power in Bianyi. In the end, Feng Yuanyi's father, Feng Junheng, was executed, and Feng Yuanyi was castrated. In the first year of the Shengli calendar (698), Li Qianli was attacked by Lingnan to enter the palace, Wu Zetian rewarded his intelligence and cleverness, young and beautiful, and let him worship by his side, and then was whipped and driven out because of his small mistakes. Later, Gao Yanfu, the eunuch of Wu Sansifu, became his father-in-law, and then changed his name to Gao Lishi. After making friends with Li Longji when he was in the domain, Gao Lishi served with all his heart.
During the Tang Long period (710), due to the meritorious work of pacifying the rebellion of Empress Wei, he was promoted to the crown prince Taibao, and Li Longji entered the prince's inner fang bureau as a wrestler, serving left and right every day, and was promoted to the doctor of Chaosan and the internal affairs.
After Li Longji ascended the throne, Gao Lishi participated in the killing of Xiao Zhizhong, Cen Xi and others. In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he concurrently served as the general of the right prison guard and was in charge of the affairs of the province. Li Longji attached great importance to Gao Lishi and let him participate in court politics. Every time there is a concert, Gao Lishi reads it first, and the small things are self-determined, and the big things are presented to Li Longji. Li Longji tasted and said, "Gao Lishi is above, and I can sleep peacefully." ”
"Awen!" After coming out of the main hall, Gao Lishi walked quickly towards the Datong Hall, but was stopped by a low shout from behind.
"Border Prison Army, what's the matter with the old man."
"The villain has said goodbye to Aweng. Your Majesty rested in the Xingqing Hall tonight? Bian Lingcheng came forward to give a salute and said with a flattering smile.
"Border Supervisor, it's not the old man who said you. As a prisoner, you should do your part well. Don't care about these irrelevant things. The old man has to tell you not to overdo everything. If you miss Your Majesty's state affairs because of selfishness, the old man will not let you go" Gao Lishi was a little dissatisfied with what Bian Lingcheng did. is also a eunuch, Gao Lishi is very clear about the ghost fetus that Bian Ling sincerely has.
As a special group, the eunuchs were greatly devastated physically and mentally. There will be some distortions in the psyche to a greater or lesser extent. Eunuchs are destined not to enjoy the pleasure of men and women, let alone have children. What they covet can only be power and money, and the eunuchs have no heirs, so they are even more unscrupulous and have no bottom line.
Bian Lingcheng in front of him is a typical representative. On that day, His Majesty ordered Feng Changqing to recruit troops on the spot to defend the eastern capital, and Bian Lingcheng was the supervisor of the army, Gao Lishi had no objection to this. Who knew that this guy was a good hand at doing things, and he actually sued the emperor about General Feng Changqing, who had great military achievements. If you only talk about defeat, it will be just the crime of losing the eastern capital Luoyang. However, this guy also fabricated a series of charges for General Feng Changqing to deduct military salaries and fear the enemy. As soon as Bian Lingcheng's recital arrived, Gao Lishi understood seven or eight points in his heart. It must have been this guy who failed to ask for bribes from General Feng and fabricated charges and fell into the ground.
Gao Lishi had the heart to knock Bian Lingcheng, "Although the old man never leaves His Majesty's side all day long, he is fortunate to have His Majesty's trust and has some understanding of the affairs of the court. Don't think that if the old man doesn't care about you, he doesn't know what you've done. Collect the points as soon as possible, and don't overdo it. ”
"What Ah Weng said is that the villain will be careful" Bian Lingcheng said in a cold sweat, his head lowered to his waist, and he only promised.
